Request for Nominations for the 

Environmental Financial Advisory 

Board (EFAB) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Request for nominations of 

candidates to the Environmental 

Financial Advisory Board. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) invites 

nominations of qualified candidates to 

be considered for appointment to the 

Environmental Financial Advisory 

Board (the Board or EFAB). The Board 

provides advice to EPA on ways to 

lower the costs of, and increase 

investments in, environmental and 

public health protection. Appointments 

will be made by the Administrator and 

will be announced in June 2024. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

December 31, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be sent 

via email to efab@epa.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public who wants further 

information concerning the nomination 

process may contact Tara Johnson via 

telephone/voicemail at (202) 809–7368 

or email to efab@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EFAB is 

available at www.epa.gov/ 

waterfinancecenter/efab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The EFAB is an EPA 

advisory committee chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., app. 2, to provide 

advice and recommendations to EPA on 

innovative approaches to financing 

environmental programs, projects, and 

activities. The Board was established in 

1989 to provide advice and 

recommendations to EPA. Since 

inception, the Board has advised the 

EPA on a wide-ranging set of issues 

including but not limited to the 

following: 

• Creating incentives to increase 

private investment in the provision of 

environmental services and removing or 

reducing constraints on private 

involvement wherever possible; 

• Developing new and innovative 

environmental financing approaches 

and supporting and encouraging the use 

of cost-effective existing approaches; 

• Identifying approaches specifically 

targeted to small community financing; 

• Assessing government strategies for 

implementing public-private 

partnerships, including privatization, 

operations and maintenance issues, and 

other alternative financing mechanisms; 

• Improving governmental principles 

of accounting and disclosure standards 

to help improve the sustainability of 

environmental programs; 

• Increasing the capacity of state and 

local governments to carry out their 

respective environmental programs 

under current Federal laws; 

• Increasing the total investment in 

environmental protection and 

stewardship of public and private 

environmental resources to help ease 

the environmental financing challenge 

facing our nation; and 

• Developing innovative investment 

models and market-based approaches 

that increase the long-term resiliency of 

infrastructure. 

The Board’s recent work has 

included: 

• Options for the development of the 

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund 

authorized under the Inflation 

Reduction Act; and 

• Recommendations for catalyzing 

pollution prevention finance, enhancing

the agency’s approach to encourage 

increased Opportunity Zone funds 

investment alongside existing EPA 

funding tools, and improving the 

availability of public and private 

sources of funding for stormwater 

infrastructure. 

The Board meets either in-person or 

virtually two times each calendar year 

(two days per meeting) at different 

locations within the continental United 

States. In addition to the bi-annual 

meetings, additional virtual meetings 

may be held during the year to ensure 

timely completion of the Board’s work. 

Board members typically contribute 

approximately 3 to 8 hours per month 

to the activities of the Board. This 

includes participation on one or more of 

the Board’s active workgroups. Members 

serve on the Board without 

compensation; however, Board members 

may receive travel and per diem 

allowances where appropriate and in 

accordance with Federal travel 

regulations. 

Members are appointed to represent 

the perspective of specific 

organizations, associations, or groups of 

persons (Representative members), or to 

provide their individual expertise 

(Special Government Employee, or SGE, 

members). Candidates invited to serve 

as SGE members will be asked to submit 

the ‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Special Government 

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form allows EPA 

to determine whether there is a statutory 

conflict between that person’s public 

responsibilities as an SGE member and 

private interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a loss of impartiality as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed at https://www.epa.gov/ 

waterfinancecenter/efab, but this form 

should not be submitted as part of a 

nomination. 

Experience and Expertise Sought for 

the EFAB: The Board seeks to maintain 

diverse representation across all 

workforce sectors (state/local/tribal 

government, business (industry and 

finance), and nonprofit organizations) 

and geographic regions of the United 

States. Nominees should demonstrate 

experience in environmental finance 

and/or reducing the cost of financing 

environmental protection in various 

environmental media (e.g., air, energy, 

land, and water). Experience and 

expertise sought include, but are not 

limited to, the following areas: 

commercial banking; environmental and 

financial resiliency; environmental 

financing including sector-specific 

experience; environmental justice; 

environmental, social, and corporate 

governance; environmental equity 

financing; Federal investments in 

environmental financing; green banking; 

infrastructure financing; insurance 

markets; local utility management and 

finance; public-public and publicprivate partnerships; regulators; 

resource conservation; sustainable 

community partnerships; and 

sustainable economies. 

In accordance with Executive Order 

14035 (June 25, 2021) and consistent 

with law, EPA values and welcomes 

opportunities to increase diversity, 

equity, inclusion, and accessibility on 

its Federal advisory committees. EPA’s 

Federal advisory committees strive to 

have a workforce that reflects the 

diversity of the American people. 

Nominee qualifications will be assessed 

under the mandates of the FACA, which 

requires that committees be balanced in 

terms of the points of view represented 

and the functions to be performed; for 

the Board, this balance includes 

diversity across a broad range of 

constituencies, sectors, and groups. In 

addition to this notice, other sources 

may be utilized in the solicitation of 

nominees. 

How to Submit Nominations: Any 

interested person or organization may 

nominate qualified person(s) to be 

considered for appointment to the 

EFAB. Individuals may self-nominate. 

Nominations should be submitted via 

email to efab@epa.gov. Nominations 

should include the following 

information: Contact information for the 

person making the nomination; contact 

information for the nominee (if 

different), including full name and title, 

business mailing address, telephone, 

and email address; the specific areas of 

experience or expertise of the nominee; 

the nominee’s curriculum vitae or 

resume; and a biographical sketch of the 

nominee indicating current position and 

recent service on other Federal advisory 

committees or national professional 

organizations. A supporting letter of 

endorsement is encouraged, but not 

required. 

Evaluation Criteria: The following 

criteria will be used to evaluate 

nominees: Residence in the United 

States; professional knowledge of, and 

experience with, environmental 

financing activities; senior-level 

experience that fills a gap in Board 

representation or brings a new and 

relevant dimension to its deliberations; 

demonstrated ability to work in a 

consensus-building process with a wide 

range of representatives from diverse 

constituencies; and willingness to serve 

a two or three-year term as an active and 

contributing member, with possible 

reappointment to a second term.

Draft National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) Pesticide 

General Permit for Point Source 

Discharges From the Application of 

Pesticides; Reissuance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of draft permit and 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: All ten Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) Regions are 

proposing for public comment the draft 

2026 National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) Pesticide 

General Permit (PGP)—the draft 2026 

PGP. The draft 2026 PGP covers point 

source discharges from the application 

of pesticides to waters of the United 

States. Once finalized, the draft 2026 

PGP will replace the existing permit, the 

2021 PGP, which was issued for a fiveyear term in the Federal Register on 

October 31, 2021, and expires October 

31, 2026, at midnight. The draft 2026 

PGP largely has the same conditions and 

requirements as EPA’s previously issued 

PGPs, and would authorize certain point 

source discharges from the application 

of pesticides to waters of the United 

States in accordance with the terms and 

conditions described therein. EPA 

proposes to issue this permit for five (5) 

years in all areas of the country where 

EPA is the NPDES permitting authority. 

EPA solicits public comment on all 

aspects of the draft 2026 PGP. This 

Federal Register document describes 

the draft 2026 PGP in general and seeks 

comment as described in Section III.C of 

this document. The Fact Sheet 

accompanying the permit contains 

supporting documentation. EPA 

encourages the public to read the Fact 

Sheet to better understand the draft 

2026 PGP. 

DATES: Written comments on the draft 

2026 PGP must be received by January 

12, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OW–2023–0268, by any of the following 

methods:
